Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, date of birth, or other entry submitted through a search tool goes directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or contact submission as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive certain technical information whenever a page loads, including:
- Page-view timestamps
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. We and our analytics providers use them to understand traffic in aggregate, such as which pages are visited and where visits end. You may block cookies in your browser, although doing so can change how portions of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Understanding which pages are useful or need attention
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant information. This site offers general directions to Tuscaloosa County sources, including the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office Warrant Division and the Alabama Sixth Judicial Circuit and municipal courts that issue warrants. Alabama has no single public statewide warrant-search portal. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their own privacy policies—not this policy—govern information entered there, as well as their retention and disclosure practices. Review the applicable provider policy before submitting anything.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Alabama court resources, municipal courts, legal-aid organizations, or commercial tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring use and performance
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving material on the site
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal order compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary security measures to protect collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, however, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights based on where you live. The Alabama Open Records Act, Alabama Code §§36-12-40 through 36-12-45, governs access to qualifying public records held by Alabama governmental custodians; it does not make this privately operated site a government records custodian. For information held by us, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask what information we hold about you
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable
- Request deletion of your information
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. Any revision will be posted here and identified by a new effective date, so review this page periodically for changes.
Effective date: September 9, 2026
